CrossBarn Paul Hobbs Pinot Noir 2015
Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, United StatesThe 2015 is as intense as ever, rich and spicy, but not so boisterous. The texture and tannins are showing some finesse and elegance. It’s hardly red Burgundy, but for those who love the big black raspberry flavours of Sonoma Coast pinot, albeit with a whiff of celery salt and stony coolness, this is it. Less is more when it comes to pinot and this label appears to be at least a bit less, and it is all the better for it. Duck, turkey, salmon or cheese all works here thanks to the purity and persistence of the pinot fruit. Well done.Tasted: 01 November 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $48.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
